San Francisco Board President Aaron Peskin is facing criticism over his proposed charter amendments, including one aimed at reforming the city's government oversight system and another that could politicize the redistricting process for the November 2024 ballot. Peskin, who has been in City Hall for 24 years, claims his 'commission on commissions' amendment will address issues in government oversight, but opponents argue it is a cynical measure designed to maintain the broken system he helped create. Additionally, critics highlight his poor record on housing, noting only two residential projects have been completed in his neighborhood since 2015. As Peskin positions himself as a housing and transit advocate, detractors accuse him of blocking new housing and transit developments while owning rental properties in the district. Critics also point out that Peskin waived Board Rule 3.22, which requires a 30-day waiting period before considering major city policy changes.

Thanks for plugging our commission reform, Supervisor. You got every detail wrong, but that’s expected—you’re trying to keep the broken system you created. Want to fight Peskin’s cynical politics? Tell Supervisors to reject his charter amendment now: https://t.co/0Xf5M3lt4n https://t.co/qaKruYKE6i
the most fascinating part of @AaronPeskin’s SF mayoral campaign is he’s convinced a bunch of lefties he’s a working class champion when his biggest accomplishment is blocking transit and new housing in the district he owns rental properties. he has this incredible rizz w midwits. https://t.co/LvT7iIC3jZ

“The fast track to set aside civil rights protections has been paved by Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin who waived Board Rule 3.22, which requires the board to wait 30 days before considering legislation that could revise major city policy.” https://t.co/nIJBR7HNbj
SF’s government oversight system is well-intentioned—and broken. We’re sponsoring real reforms to fix it. Aaron Peskin is sponsoring a phony “commission on commissions” charter amendment to confuse voters. Tell Supervisors—vote NO on his cynical measure. https://t.co/H7sCekwRVu

Aaron Peskin’s been in City Hall for decades. He says his new “commission on commissions” charter amendment will “fix” SF’s broken government oversight. It won’t.

“I actually have the best record on housing that you’ve never heard of.” Aaron Peskin we’ve never heard of it because it doesn’t exist — particularly in your own neighborhood, where just two residential housing projects have been completed since 2015. https://t.co/IEmlBjv7BK
Aaron Peskin has spent decades of his life fighting housing and transit and now he’s trying to gaslight us into believing he’s some sort of housing and transit champion. Fuuuuuuuck that
